CAUTION : Do not use any steel wool, abrasive or chlorine based products
to clean stainless steel surfaces.
Stainless Steel Opponents
There are three basic things which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity
layer and allow corrosion to rear its ugly head.
1) Scratches from wire brushes, scrapers, and steel pads are just a few examples of
items that can be abrasive to the stainless steel surface.
2) Deposits left on your stainless steel can leave spots. You may have hard or soft
water depending on what part of the country you live in. Hard water can leave
spots. Hard water that is heated can leave deposits if left to sit too long. These
deposits can cause the passive layer to break down and rust your stainless steel.
All deposits left from food prep or service should be removed as soon as possible.
3) Chlorides are present in table salt, food, and water. Household and industrial
cleaners are the worst type of chlorides to use.
8 steps that can help prevent rust on stainless steel:
1. Using the correct cleaning tools
Use non-abrasive tools when cleaning your stainless steel products. The stainless
steel’s passive layer will not be harmed by soft cloths and plastic scouring pads.
Step 2 tells you how to find the polishing marks.
2. Cleaning along the polish lines
Polishing lines or “grain” are visible on some stainless steels. Always scrub parallel
to visible lines on some stainless steels. Use a plastic scouring pad or soft cloth
when you cannot see the grain.
3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners
While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing
an ever increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of your
cleaners chloride content contact your cleaner supplier and request a non-chloride
cleaner that can be used as alternative to chloride containing cleaners. Avoid
cleaners containing quaternary salts as they can attack stainless steel, causing
pitting and rusting.
